For years, certifications in the Information Technology world have help job candidates to demonstrate their skills to potential employers.

In the Linux world this is as true as in any other area, with businesses primarily looking for certified candidates to fill available vacancies. In other words, certifications are a proven way of gaining an advantage when applying for a job.

Linux Foundation’s LFCS and LFCE Certification Preparation Guide

Since August 2014 you don’t have to travel to a testing center and spend a lot of money in associated expenses to take a certification exam.

Thanks to the Linux Foundation, you can aspire to a world-class certification by taking a monitored on-line exam from the comfort of your own home.

We at Tecmint.com have put together 66 chapters covering the topics required in both exams and reviewed them taking into consideration the many comments we have received over the last 3+ years.

Also, we do our best to keep the book updated with the latest modifications that have been made to the domain competencies of both exams. With the last revision of this material in January 2019, we have taken into account version 3.18 of the domains and competencies.

This list came into effect on April 10, 2018, as announced by the Linux Foundation.

What’s inside this eBook?

We are now pleased to present to you those 66 exam objectives with 500+ pages in this ebook (PDF format). That was a constantly-repeated request over that same period – you spoke, and we listened!

Hello Ravi, I read in the comments that on June 2 the new version of the preparation guide for the LFCS / LFCE cerficicación would be released, is this right or is there still time to launch the new version?

Is this e-book updated with the latest version of the exams? Are you going to update it once the syllabus change in March?
I ask because I am not sure if I should purchase it straight away or wait for the update…

Thanks for the great book. I purchased it earlier this year, but my book and it’s chapter doesn’t match with what this article says. For example the chapter 18 in my book is setting up network services, while here it’s FTP setup. Any chance I got sent the wrong version?

I purchased this book twice. I second time that I purchased it I thought it was an updated copy (since your website said the book was last updated 2/2017 and the chapters listed on the website are different than to ones in my book (from 2016). I was disappointed that I received the same book twice. Can I get the updated copy of the book, please? Thank you for your time and affect that you put into the making of the book. It is a great book especially since there are one others.

Hie l am writing my LFCS and LFCE in a few months time, and due to work pressure i haven’t been getting much time to practice. Will this book have practical exam questions, that can actually help me in jogging my memory and strengthen my Linux skills..
